Book Description

1 Jun 2004
The human was an expert sniper-and a psychopath. He had never failed in the past when he stalked human prey. But now he is on an enemy planet, and his prey is anything but human. The Darhel are a race with a highly developed empathic sense. Long ago, they learned that they cannot deal death to another intelligent being without being destroyed by the death agonies of their victim. Even though they have been manipulating other species behind the scenes for millennia, including the humans of planet Earth, they cannot bear to kill another being, and depend on other, less sensitive beings to do their dirty work. But now one of the Darhel must kill or be killed. And the fate, not only of his own race, but all of humanity, is riding on his survival. The course of the next thousand years will be determined by whether or not he can learn to fight back. If he cannot, it will be too late...for the entire galaxy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously bad 12 Jan 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sadly i have to agree with the previous reviewer. I have had this book, read about 90% of it, had it over a year and just can't find the enthusiasm to complete it.

It make me wonder how much of this book was written by Michael Z Willamson because I rate John Ringo as a superb writer and its disappointing he has put his name to a book of such poor quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars American Science Fiction 9 Jan 2013
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you like your science fiction with lots of kick ass violence, John ringo is your man ! A great series of books (posleen war).
A valid question would be, why do aliens always invade the USA though ?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that bad! 6 April 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
While no where near the best in the series, this is not as bad as the other reviewers have written. It's basically a survival tale between two warriors (once some of the cannon fodder has been put out of the picture). What I did find strange is that it gives away a MAJOR development in the future story line of the world Ringo created, in books which are to be set in the past as far as this edition is concerned. Confused?
